Hi and welcome to another round of the colour creations blog hop.
For this weeks blog hop, we are focusing on the colour, calypso coral.
If you remember, from previous years I like to work with the color coach Stampin' Up! provides to add a challenge to my card creations.
This week, I have chosen calypso coral, wild wheat and mossy meadow from the colour coach to work with today but I really wanted to use the pansy dies and needed to add in some extra colours so picked old olive and petal pink to complete the flowers/leaves.
Lots of die cutting for this card and I made it plain and simple with no sentiment and rhinestone basic jewels for a small amount of bling. It took 10 passes with the Stampin' Cut and Emboss machine to make this card so the adhesive sheets were extreanly handy to complete this card quickly once I had die cut and inked everything.
Close up - I popped up the front daisy with stampin' dimensionals for added interest

Up next we have Rosa Leyden. I can't wait to see what she is sharing.

Great colour choices for the pansies, Ros - they look lovely. The white allows them to "pop" beautifully. You have shown off Calypso Coral perfectly.

Wow, your pansies look amazing! The way you've inked them adds to the realism of the flowers. The scattering of gems is the perfect finishing touch.

Such a great colour combo and choice of dies to feature Calypso Coral. Wow 10 passes of the Cut and Emboss machine!but it was definitely worth it.

A beautiful card Ros with pansies inside and out. I love your pansy colours and your clever use of adhesive sheets (I keep forgetting to use it til its to late). You don’t need to add a sentiment the pansies speak for themselves. xxx

Very pretty pansy card, Ros. The leaves are the perfect green and the pansies in the coral/petal pink/white combo work well. Love the cascading layout.

Gorgeous bright trio of pansies on the front of your card Ros. It may be labour intensive work but a worthwhile result. Beautiful xx

Oh Ros, that is a LOT of die cutting. The result is lovely even though it has taken rather long to create.
